The French chamber cantata can best be understood as an opera in miniature, in which a small number of instruments accompany a voice which plays, by turns, both narrator and protagonist.

These instrumentalists are, as always, perfect. Its members have the unrelinquishing knack of giving their score a very natural reading, hence l’Ensemble Arion maintains the height of its reputation. Danièle Forget’s voice (…) is perfectly conducive to this type of repertoire and isn’t of a dull, colourless timbre which is too often the case with many French prima donnas who risk singing this “delicate” repertoire. – François Tousignant, Le Devoir 1994, Canada
